IMPAC5 is where we will come together and take a stand to protect the ocean. From 3-9 February 2023, the world’s top ocean conservation professionals will meet in Vancouver, Canada to chart a course towards protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030. The International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC) is an opportunity for the global community of marine conservation managers and practitioners to exchange knowledge, experience and best practices to strengthen the conservation of marine biodiversity, protect the natural and cultural heritage of the oceans. IMPAC5 will be jointly hosted by the Host First Nations - Musqueam Indian Band, Squamish Nation, and Tsleil-Waututh Nation – together with the Government of Canada, the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
